A lovely short for a lazy Sunday

Waveform1
Tactile Waveforms
by Süperfad

What to post on a lazy Sunday morning? Sure, there are some ideas making banging noises upstairs in the old noggin, but none of them are finished baking yet. I also have a few recently completed projects that I could talk about, (and one really awesome one still in production) but, dangit, I just don't feel like it.

Why? Well it's Sunday, and the wife and I were shocked to discover that neither party had any plans for the other's time today. What's that mean? It means we're doing nothing! Nothing other than listening to some Christmas tunes, wrapping some presents, and maybe watching a little telly.*

Hallelujah. 

So what does any of that have to do with the gorgeous little piece of animation below, an abstract but enthralling two minutes of eye candy that attempts to describe music with pictures? Well it's my long winded excuse for not having anything to say about it, in typical lazy Sunday fashion, other than this:

It's good. Watch it.

*I almost never watch telly, and to be honest, I doubt I will today; but for whatever reason I just really wanted to sound British right there.

More from the creators:

Süperfad’s latest short film, directed by Nando Costa, explores the connections between science, mathematics and music. Drawings representing a musical score are released into stylized landscapes that illustrate conditions through which sounds travel. These drawn representations react in different ways when traveling through the desolate landscapes, transforming into impossible musical instruments and altering elements in the environment along the way. The film’s structure is defined by World Gang’s music composition, which features classic instruments altered electronically to create the track. Working in a push and pull relationship, the film’s video and audio abstractions unite in an experience that is both otherworldly and rooted in tradition.

More Stunning Underwater Photography

Title
Another World 2 and Octopus Kingdom
by Alexander Semenov

Some of you may remember my post from 6 months ago, where I shared the stunning under sea photography of Alexander Semenov. Alexander is a research diver working at Russia's White Sea Biological Station, and a pretty gifted shutterbug. He manages to capture hauntingly beautiful images of underwater flora and fauna, some of which are so alien to our eyes that it's become clique to say so. If you haven't seen the previous post, definitely check it out.

In any case, Alexander is back with more, so I thought another post was in order. The highlight for me is the shot of the gorgeously strange Skeleton Shrimp, pictured above and in geater detail below, but have a look and pick your own! The giant Octopi found in the Sea of Japan are quite a sight to behold as well. 

No matter your favourite, enjoy the photos! I've separated the two projects by their titles — the descriptions you see below are Alexander's own.


Another World - Part 2
Beautiful monsters from the White Sea, Season 2011

Another part of photos of amazing underwater life from the cold water of the White sea. Tiny creatures live here in the environment you can hardly imagine: water temperature sometimes is below zero, darkness under 20m depth - there is absolutely no light there, strongest tidal currents flow for six hours four times a day.

Octopus Kingdom
The Japan Sea bestiary 

The Japan sea is the true pearl among all Russian seas. It’s northern and tropical at the same time and that mix makes the Japan sea absolutely unique. Underwater life here feels like a boiling pit full of invertebrates – so many different creatures are moving around you every minute. Also here lives real-world aliens – cephalopods. I never was as emotional as when I saw 6 meters long octopus… It’s amazing. The Japan sea is wonderful place for diving, you need decades to see all the living stuff here.
